“Intellectual Enrichment: The fundamental components and strategies necessary for governing a public pension fund”

New Orleans, LA. Global Governance Advisors Partners, Brad Kelly and Peter Landers, will teach at the NCPERS Accredited Fiduciary (NAF) Program in New Orleans on October 26-27, 2019. NAF is a trustee accreditation program specifically designed and tailored for public pension governance. The NAF Program divides plan governance, oversight, and administration into four separate modules:

Governance and the Board’s Role;

Investment and Finance;

Legal, Risk Management and Communication; and

Human Capital.

The GGA Partners will lead a discussion centered around understanding the roles, responsibilities of public pension boards as well as the differing governance models and principles that exist; the legal risk oversight duties of a pension board as well as the duties of an individual trustee; and the fundamentals of executive compensation.

Brad Kelly commented, “Poor governance has a material effect on pension funds which costs them anywhere between 100 to 200 bps annually.” Peter Landers added, “this program enables trustees to learn about best practices that they can use to help focus their oversight and strategically improve their performance in many areas.”
